Hi!
Could anyone help me installing High Sierra on this system? I succesfully installed Sierra before on this system with help of Jake Lo (thanks!!), I just wondering if could High sierra possible to installed on this system?
Boot stopped at this. I'll attach my Clover folder and a picture from boot.
UEFI enabled, and for skylake I used IntelGraphicsDVMTfixup and IntelGraphicsFixup kexts. My bios is very limited and does not have any option to change dvmt prealloc or anything else.
Everything works fine on Sierra. Here is my system:
Acer Aspire V15 V5-591G-55TU
(Note: Bootpack works fine with another versions of 591G, for example: V5-591G-71K2, -764Z, -59PU, etc.)
Mobo: Skylake USOPP_SLS Bios: Insyde corp latest version CPU: Intel Core i5-6300HQ 2.30 GHz (Skylake) GPU: Geforce GTX 950M 2 GB (optimus, disabled), Intel HD 530 Ram: 8 GB DDR4 (4+4 GB) Wifi: Qualcomm Atheros QCNFA344A, Replaced to BCM94352Z

Before updating to a new version of Mojave please update kexts to new versions to avoid kernel panics
Not working:
Original Wi-Fi: Qualcomm Atheros QCNFA344A unsupported, you need switch to BCM94352Z or just use a mini usb wifi dongle.
NVIDIA GTX 950M: Optimus not supported.
Card Reader: Unsupported
HDMI Audio
For Wi-Fi:
You can choose an external USB wifi dongle (I used tp-link Archer T1U (5GHz support), Tp-link have official macOS drivers, you just need to install it
(OR)Replace your M.2 Qualcomm Card with a compatible BCM94352Z card (you will have hand-off Bluetooth too), just install the kext I wrote above
I'll attach my EFI folder for anyone who want to install High Sierra (acer_aspire_v5_591g_55tu_hs.zip).
*REUPLOADED updated CLOVER folder, attached as "v5_591g_55tu_updated_CLOVER.zip".
For Mojave download "clover_mojave_acer_v5_591g.zip"
I'm using Mojave in Dual-boot with Windows 8.1. To do this in a clean install or with Windows installed first try my little minimal guide:
Dual-boot clean install (on one drive): 1. Boot into your Mac installer, Create 2 partitions in GUID table (1 for Win (I used FAT32 but I think it's no matter what), 1 for Mac), 2. Install Mac, boot with your USB, *mount your EFI partition (use terminal or an EFI mounter app), create an EFI folder, copy the CLOVER folder I attached to the EFI folder, restart, 3. Boot into your Win installer, Format the partition you created for Win, install. 4. Now, it's automatically booting into Windows. To use Clover open cmd in administrator, type:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\CLOVER\CLOVERX64.efi
5. You're done! It will booting into Clover when you start the system, and you can select Win or Mac (or another OS if installed on a 3rd partition).
Dual-boot with Windows installed first (on one drive): If you already have Windows and you don't want to lose all your data there is a hope: You need bootable Mac Installer and a full system restore image (you can search for it). (You may see errors if your EFI partition is not 200 MB) 1. Boot into your Windows, resize your partition or create one for Mac. 2. Boot into your Mac installer and in Disk Utility format the partition you created. 3. Restore from image: select your full system restore image. 4. When it's finished restoring you just need to restart, then boot to the system with your usb. 5. Do Step 2. from "*" from clean install dual-boot above. but KEEP "Microsoft" FOLDER IN IT! 6. Do Step 4. from clean install dual-boot above. 7. You're done! You can select your old Windows and your new macOS! (I only tried with Windows 8/8.1/10. I don't know Windows 7,etc.)
IF YOU GETTING ERRORS DURING MAC RESTORE:
Make sure you have partitions in GPT
The best version for restore method is Windows 8.1. It's using 200 MB EFI. Windows 10 using 100 MB EFI and will annoy the Mac restore. You can use with Windows 10, just ignore the errors
IF YOU GETTING ERRORS DURING WINDOWS INSTALLATION (could not be formatted, etc):
Make sure you have GPT partitions, and GPT installer
IF YOU USED RESTORE METHOD THEN CAN'T MOUNT YOUR EFI PARTITION (No EFI partition found)
It's because your EFI is not 200 MB or not an "Apple" original EFI, but do not worry, try another EFI mounter, or mount from terminal (I used EFI mounter v3: Getting errors, but you can mount and use without problem)
You also could "mount" the EFI from windows, for that open cmd and type:
diskpart
list vol (Now select the "System" volume,(FAT 32) For example I select 4)
sel vol 4
list part (Select System type partition, for example 2)
sel part 2
assign letter=b (This will "mount" your EFI partition, to manage files download totalcmd or explorer++ (run as admin))
remove letter=b (This will "unmount" your EFI)
Notes:
2018.12.09: Updated to 10.14.2 -> did without any complication
2018.11.28: Fixed combo-jack garbage sound output by installing ALCPlugFix and CodecCommander.kext
2018.11.01: Updated to 10.14.1 -> HDMI & VGA ports are gone again. -> Fixed by "AppleIntelSKLGraphicsFramebuffer.kext" rollback from 10.14: AppleIntelSKLGraphicsFramebufferkext_10_14_0.zip
2018.09.28: Updated to Mojave 10.14 -> Fixed HDMI & VGA Outputs by adding "AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext" patches to config.plist, HDMI audio not working

Hey guys! How to install El Capitan or Sierra on this system? I created a bootable UEFI Installer stick with uni beast, but it's failed to booting the installer, just restarting (verbose mode says nothing). When finally got into verbose mode, got a Kernel panic I think. I attached a picture from the error. Tried some clover configs, but still getting error. First I tried Sierra installer then El Capitan but getting the same error. System:

Thank you Jake Lo for help!
I attached the CLOVER folder ("aspire_v5_v591g-55tu.zip" this one is without DSDT patches) for everyone who need it.
Just in case I attached my CLOVER folder with using DSDT too. ("aspire_v5_591g-55tu_wDSDT.zip" i'm using this right now)
Display pane:
If you see error: "Could not load Display preference pane" in System Preferences > Displays, you should use a kext created for this system to get it working. (attached as "correct_prefpane_v5-591g.zip") Install it with kext utility, restart, and then should be good now.
I suggest updating to 10.12.6, maybe this update also fix this issue.

Hello I have successfully installed mac os x 10.8.1 (Update:Now Running 10.8.3 10.8.4) to my laptop but you need to follow my guide to get installing and mostly fully working and if you are smarter and have more knowledge than me, I welcome you to help me getting it fully working to be macbook killer lets get started. 1- you must have bios version 1.07 or lower(because newer version selecting switchable or integrated graphics option removed ). if it happen and you have newer version just download 1.07 and install it and it will downgrade without any problem . 2- make sure to select integreated graphics from bios 3- make bootable USB using this guide(myhack) 4-download my DSDT+SSDT+boot.plist+smbios from attachments. and special thanks to EMlyDinEsH for making DSDT and SSDT for me along with many patched kexts- Dont have DSDT ? click here 5-put it in myhack OS X installer in extra folder
6-tocuhpad driver still in development - I used beta elan tocuhpad v4 kext to get touchpad working during installation - downlaod it from here , touchpad driver is out ! 7- replace kext with the attached one to S/L/E = System/library/extensions and remove nullcpupowermanagement.kext 8- Use legacy USB support from multifail to get blue USB 3.0 ports working with normal USB 3.0 speed, this is the only way worked for me.
OR
Go to /System/Library/Extensions and right click on IOUSBFAMILY.kext and select Show Package Contents then go to Contents -> Plugins and delete AppleUSBXHCI.kext
you will get camera and blue usb 3.0 port to work togethor using this method
New= 9-install IONetworking kext for Ethernet and fixing appstore install error
that's it install mac and then install updates to 10.8.1 you may get errors during installation but that fine . installing 10.8.2 gave me too much error and panics so that's why I use 10.8.1
Install 10.8.3 combo install 10.8.4 comob and after finish replace only this kext(AppleACPIPlatform.kext) from 10.8.1 or use my kext from the attachment. + Install patched AppleHDA .

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to install Mac OSX Mavericks on an ACER Aspire 5920G laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo T5450, Graphics by NVIDIA GeForce 8600m GT).
The first time I was attempting a boot in verbose mode, I got the "Configuration end, bridge x device 19" error.
As the boot flags "npci=0x2000" and "npci=0x3000" weren't effective, I added IOPCIFamily.kext and AppleAPCIPlatform.kext in the Extra folder, which made the installation hang at "Configuration Begin".
So I made a copy of IOPCIFamily.kext in the S/L/E folder, which corrected the error but gave me the "DSMOS has arrived" error.
Now I tried to replace FakeSMC.kext with a new one, and I copied it into the S/L/E folder. I also deleted all graphic kext : AppleIntelHD*.kext, AppleIntelSNB*.kext, AMDRadeon*.kext, ATI*.kext, GeForce*.kext and NVDA*.kext, which didn't change anything.
Of course I tried to boot with the "GraphicsEnabler=No" and the "-x" boot flags.
One more thing, before the "DSMOS has arrived" line shows up, I noticed the following errors :
"BootCacheControl: Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist : 2 No such file or directory", "SuperIODevice : [Fatal] found unsupported ship ITE sequence ID=0xfc11, Winbond sequence ID=0xffff"
Any idea on how to fix it ?
Thanks for your time.
